Jeffery, Stephen Paul (2009-06-02)NiN2S2 moieties have been used as a unique class of ligand in organometallic chemistry behaving as innocent mono- and bidentate ligands to metals bound via their thiolate sulfur donor atoms. We have established the donor ...
-
Angeles Boza, Alfredo Milton (2009-05-15)The syntheses and characterization of new dirhodium complexes based on the electron acceptor ligand dipyrido[3,2-a:2´,3´-c]phenazine (dppz) and its derivatives are reported. These complexes have been shown to photocleave ...
-
Karadas, Ferdi (2011-02-22)The cyanide ligand has frequently been used to prepare clusters with novel magnetic properties due to its ability to provide an efficient pathway for superexchange between metal centers that are bound in an end-to-end ...
-
Kang, Mijeong (Texas A&M University, 2007-04-25)The study of the mechanism of action of an antitumor active drug is essential for improving the efficacy and reducing the side effects of the drug as well as for developing better alternatives. In this vein, reactions of ...
-
Aguirre-Flores, Jessica Dafhne (2011-02-22)The molecular characteristics that affect the activity of various dirhodium complexes are reported. The importance of the axial position in the action of dirhodium compounds was studied. Three dirhodium complexes with ...

Leonard, Brian Matthew (2009-05-15)Intermetallic compounds are among the most important solid-state materials because of their diverse physical properties and widespread use in numerous applications. The possibility of integrating intermetallics with emerging ...
-
Cable, Robert E. (2009-05-15)As devices and new technologies continue to shrink, nanocrystalline multi-metal compounds are becoming increasingly important for high efficiency and multifunctionality. However, synthetic methods to make desirable ...
-
Taylor, Thomas Jackson (2009-05-15)This dissertation details the synthesis and analysis of novel supramolecular species that feature simple fluorinated organomercurials, such as trimeric perfluoroortho- phenylene mercury ([o-C6F4Hg]3). These organomercurials ...
-
Li, Zhanyong (2014-06-20)This dissertation focuses on the design and tailoring of dirhodium complexes and the investigation of their structural, spectroscopic and theoretical properties. The variation of the ligands occupying the equatorial (eq) ...
-
Lane, Sarah Margaret (2012-10-19)The anticancer properties of dirhodium tetraacetate were discovered in the 1970's, and subsequently motivated the research of several dirhodium paddlewheel derivatives. The promising results of this research led the Dunbar ...
-
Sweet, Lucas Edward (2009-05-15)This dissertation focuses on the exploratory synthesis of compounds that contain R6ZI12 (R= Ce, Gd, Er; Z=Mn, Fe, Co, C2) clusters with the goal of finding magnetically interesting compounds. Several new compounds were ...
-
Lopez Cruz, Nazario (2011-08-08)Research in the fields of molecular conductors and magnets over the past four decades has involved collaborative efforts of chemists and physicists whose common goal is to design useful materials composed of molecular ...
